The better college games are on major networks anyway. Comcast&#39;s latest scam was trying to sell(rent) me a modem because my old modem (MAY NOT)be giving me the most. Sure, if I had the over 100mb service which I don&#39;t. They try and sell me a modem through fear of my old one not working. The ONLY reason I have Comcast for internet is for ESPN3 feature over the others (century link) much cheaper without ESPN3 so Comcast trick of getting people to order TV service will most likely backfire. If they want to become a CHEAPER internet service than they will need to compete with cheaper competition and lower their prices (kind of makes you want to go out and hack some cables) LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22120968.post-46699881340203375082012-08-24T16:56:11.385-04:002012-08-24T16:56:11.385-04:00Interesting... sounds like ESPN is testing the cha...Interesting... sounds like ESPN is testing the change of blocking Comcast Internet-only subscribers in their QA (quality assurance) environment.<br /><br />If that&#39;s the case, I&#39;m not optimistic about the prospect of being able to watch college football via ESPN3 (at any URL) by the time the season starts, assuming the plan would be to promote that change from the QA environment to the Production environment sometime over the next few weeks.Jonathan Schneiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05718316809087214442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22120968.post-76407247651154134682012-08-24T15:07:13.791-04:002012-08-24T15:07:13.791-04:00http://broadband-qa.espn.go.com/watchespn/index#ch...http://broadband-qa.espn.go.com/watchespn/index#channel/espn3/ (BLOCKED)<br />remove the -qa from the link<br />http://broadband.espn.go.com/watchespn/index#channel/espn3/ (NOT BLOCKED)<br />I was also able to watch ESPN3 from the front page of the ESPN website<br />http://espn.go.com/ <br /><br />Have Fun (I have NO ideal how they were able to ADD the -qa onto my favorites on my computer but that sounds like invasion of privacy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22120968.post-78856534306025849352012-08-23T19:46:53.469-04:002012-08-23T19:46:53.469-04:00I just noticed this today.
